Maintenance after handover
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Report cracked or peeling sealant early
- Put external and wet-area joints on a regular inspection round
- Don’t let cleaning or traffic back on before the cure time is up
- Check joints after other trades have worked nearby
Give fresh sealant time to cure before it’s cleaned, wetted or walked past. That time depends on the product, the temperature and the joint depth. Leaving the area closed until then keeps the bead neat.
Sealant rarely fails all at once across a building. The first failures are often a warning about the rest, so it makes sense to look at the wider elevation or block. We can assess the lot and suggest what to do now and later.
Sealant applicators in Patcham
On older buildings, particularly those put up before 2000, some old mastics and sealants may contain asbestos. We ask to see the asbestos register or survey before old sealant is disturbed, since managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility. Anything suspect is left alone until it has been tested. If you are dealing with hardened, chalky sealant on south-facing or exposed elevations and black mould through washroom sealant that won’t clean off, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Patcham tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
In an occupied building in Patcham, the job is planned so areas stay in use: we agree the order with you and hand back each area with its cure time.
For a business in Patcham, it normally makes sense to put the sealant work into one visit: frontage, staff facilities and window perimeters on one booking. Fewer visits means less disruption to trading, and where colour matters on the frontage, we will confirm what’s available for the product.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

General trades versus a specialist
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Building owners, agents and FMs in Patcham
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Sites in Patcham can sit alongside others in a wider programme.
From enquiry to sign-off
Before we leave any area, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. If neighbouring businesses or buildings around Patcham need work too, visits can be combined. Mention the building’s opening times and we’ll work within them.
- We start with the evidence: photos, drawings or a look on site.
- You get a fixed quote covering removal, preparation and the new sealant.
- We agree the order of work, access windows and site hours with you.
- The failed sealant comes out and the faces are prepared, with primer where required.
- Backing goes in, the new sealant is laid and tooled, and the area is left neat.
- Completed areas are signed off with you under our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work

Advice
Honest limits
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Cracking that needs a structural engineer to look at it
- Removing asbestos-containing materials (a licensed or specialist contractor’s job)
- Faulty windows rather than failed perimeter sealant
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What else we do in Patcham
Shops, offices and hotels in and around Patcham
Patcham sits close to the coast, within about 3 miles. For shops, hotels and offices, that means frontage and frame joints that weather faster than they would inland. A matched colour is only half the brief on an exposed frontage. Patcham has four care or nursing homes no more than 2 miles away. Care homes need tidy, cleanable joints in kitchens, corridors and communal rooms.
For premises near Preston Park station, 1.3 miles south of Patcham, footfall is part of the plan: work is phased so shops and offices keep trading. Refits at hotels like Preston Park Hotel, 1.2 miles south of Patcham, bring joints at vanity tops, bars and reception desks that guests see every day. Occupiers with premises at both Hollingbury Industrial Estate and Home Farm Business Park could have the sealant at each handled under one quote.
Patcham is about 2 miles north of Brighton, in Brighton and Hove. We send applicators to Patcham for sealant joints, handled exactly as we handle every other area. 29 places across Brighton and Hove fall within our area, including Patcham.

Questions about Patcham
Our building in Patcham is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Is Patcham too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
How do you choose the sealant?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
When can the area be used after sealing?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we will confirm the curing time on the day.
Is your work guaranteed?
Our workmanship on each job is backed by a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured for public liability as well.
What sets the cost
Before we quote, we look at:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- How much there is to seal
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Travel to remote or island sites
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Sending details for a quote
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Where the site is, with the postcode
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To start the process, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
